New Zealand Maori will play Fiji in Suva and a local Barbarians team this July, continuing a theme of second-tier opponents.

The Maori team will take on Fiji at the National Stadium in Suva on Saturday July 11 and return to meet the New Zealand Barbarians at Eden Park a week later.

NZ Maori last played Fiji in the Pacific Nations Cup in 2008 winning 11-7 in Lautoka.
